Evening Equinox

After a productive (if somewhat frustrating) day or two of work in and around The Cottage, the weather dried up and allowed an early evening slate session. After a very nice (and larger than average) ice cream from Georgio's in Llanberis, we found that time was slightly against us, as we had hoped to nip into the Llanberis Pass. As always, the Slate was on hand to get a quick climbing fix. Bus Stop Quarry is hard to beat for convenience and quality. Equinox VS(4c) and Solstace HVS (5a) or a combination of the two are both ace routes, with plenty of protection as well as interest. Pure pleasure...

On the drive out of the quarry, we stopped to watch a herd of Ibex (or possibly just smelly welsh goats) stroll by...

Welsh ferral Ibex?

And then were treated to some good views over Anglesey as we drove back home over the hills...
